Landscapers find buried safe in New York 7 years after theft

May 15 (UPI) -- A New York man having some landscaping done in his backyard discovered a buried safe filled with valuables that were stolen seven years ago.

Matthew Emanuel said he hired Bob Foley and his New Jersey landscaping company, Touch the Earth Inc., to replace some damaged trees in his Staten Island backyard with deer-resistant bamboo. While they were digging, the workers came across a large metal box.
